Stripes

[1302 Chisholm Street, Bronx, c. 1939–1941. From the NYC Municipal Archives Collections. Click for a much larger view.]

Awnings, balusters, pickets. Found, like so many things, while looking for something else. The house still stands, minus the awnings, balusters, and pickets. Just spindly spindles.

  3. Good find. I noticed the one awning on the house next door but didn’t look further.
